Hrayr Karapetyan says President’s arguments at PACE Summit quite convincing

YEREVAN, JUNE 23, ARMENPRESS: The presentation of the Armenia' s approaches over the negative role of the resumed sub commission of PACE on the NK affairs by President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan at the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly's (PACE) summer session in Strasburg were very convincing, chairman of the NA's National Security, Home Affairs and Defense Standing Committee Hrayr Karapetyan said at a news conference today.

"The arguments of Armenia's non-participation forwarded by the President were quite convincing as the motivations of the sub-commission are not understandable at all. Besides it is not known whether the commission will contribute or will impede the process within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group which is more competent and has passed a quite long way for the settlement of the conflict", Karapetyan said.

According to him, the speech of the president of the Republic at the PACE sitting was of diplomatic nature and was directed to the PACE audience and international establishments. He said the goal is to show that Azerbaijan elaborates anti-Armenian racist propaganda in Azerbaijan.
